How to make British Crumpets | traditional English crumpets

[@garyclark1000]

I live in France and although one of the local supermarkets sell crumpets (made in France) they are not very good. I have tried to make crumpets using about six different youtube videos, even the warburtons website recipe. All turned out to be a disappointment, very few holes, and doughy no matter how long they were cooked for. Your technique was different from the others, especially proving the batter, and then re proving adding the bi carb at the second stage. I think this is the secret, as your way has made me the perfect crumpets. Light, all well cooked with large holes throughout. I only used a little butter on the rings and in a dry non stick pan. Thank you for posting this wonderful video!

I've been trying various youtube crumpets recipes but this is the one with the best bubbles by far.

Curious as to why bicarbonate is introduced whilst all other batter recipes call for baking powder? I do see why the leavening agent is added after the yeast has been given a head start as the bicarbonate in an hour and a half would have lost it’s ability to produce a proper lift to the cooking of the crumpets when left sitting too long in the wet. Kindly note: the second half cup of warm water - after the initial 1 hour fermentation - does appear mysteriously omitted in the recipe description unless my woeful eyes are in deep decay 😃

[@BilgeDogrucuoglu]

Thank you for the recipe. I have been looking for that :) To keep the holes.

Having had store bought crumpets only once in my life several years ago when I was in England, I'd like to try this. But I'm uncertain - do you not flip the crumpets over after the bubbles have popped, to cook the other side? Thanks for providing the recipe and taking the time to share it!

[@MaxPowers]

Yes, once they have popped and the top is dry. Flip them in the pan and leave for 10 or 20 seconds.

[@snowstrobe]

We toast them before eating, which browns the top a little. These can also be frozen, so you can make them a store them for when wanted...

Your mixture is a lot thicker than mine, even though I used the exact measurements given. I really don't think they are correct. The mixture was so thin it ran out of the rings!

[@francrouch9347]

You don't list or say how much salt. A pinch? Or more?

[@gregmay9097]

As you are in the UK why are you not using metric measurements? Which leads me to the next question, is your liquid measurement an IMPERIAL or US cup?

[@desiredfoods4710]

All my measurements are in description. Google will help you convert it to what you want it to be. Hope that helps you

[@gregmay9097]

@@desiredfoods4710The point was that a UK cup is 9.5 fl oz and a US cup 8 fl oz, which makes a big difference in the hydration percentage of the dough or batter. My initial batter mix seemed dry, so for Americans trying your recipe they will have a different result than you had. Incidentally, you omitted the 1/2 cup of water out on your ingredient list. Thanks for your reply.

[@desiredfoods4710]

I’ve had a look at my cups and that is US cups so example Metric 250ml imperial 8 fl oz US 1 cup I hope this helps 🥰

[@gregmay9097]

@@desiredfoods4710 Okay, thanks for the reply.

[@snowstrobe]

@@desiredfoods4710 1 US cup of plain flour is about 125 g.

[@bobking4031]

Dont put oil in the pan

[@Aphrodite1900]

This recipe is so wrong on many levels and nothing like the experts, Warburtons, recipe which has been released and us Brit expats all use. Check it out. Oh, I don't remember you adding any sugar?
